season 2 is the guilty pleasure kink story
You have the raw?
Thank youu
The ending felt like a Deus Ex Machina.
It's like the author built up all the tension, and suspense, and horror while leading us to expect something big or a plot twist or even just a revelation... then just went "oh yeah, those hands were real! people were killed! the end~".
Nothing ended up being explained, not so much as even a hint. An open-ended ending could be what she was going for, like "I wonder what is in their future?" but instead it's just straight up confusing.
I assume the author probably didn't even have an explanation, so she just pulled out a "and everyone was murdered!" and called it a day. It's like when authors say "and it was all a dream!" after writing an epic adventure or something. It takes all my emotional investment and steps on it because it's telling me that my investment had been pointless.
Sadge. I really had expected something mind-twisting the way things were going, hoping for something unexpected, but my expectations were dashed with the typical.
yaoi with innovative storytelling? you're asking for too much lol
Wow this was exactly what I was thinking but you explained it so well. I was so disappointed at the ending too. Well in general I don't find many stories with a really satisfying ending. But one of my favorite endings belongs to Moritat. It just blew my mind. If you haven't read it I highly recommend
Yea this perfectly explains my feelings. It’s like there was all this build up to some twisted ending, but nothing really got resolved, they faced no consequences, there was no real inkling to like anything here. Feels very much like ‘it was all a dream!’
Bruh this and hotel phyrne got me both disappointed by the ending. I was more invested with the latter, like the story was great for a yaoi but then at the end author pulled a “hey it was all a dream” on us lol
it was innovative till the last few chapters （/TДT)/
+1 ;- ;
oooo is that the manhwa with the rose heads and the multiple copies of the uke? I rmmbr that one being very mind-twisty. I never followed up on it though, what was the ending?
Someone else talked about this, and I agreed.
I mean, imagine going to war and fighting, killing each day to stay alive--where, don't mind the dramatics--each second of life is precious because you have no idea when you'll end up dead on the ground like the others, be in the next day, next week, or next year. the next day. War is ugly.
Then, back in your home country, you're forced to marry some sheltered aristocrat girl--and this girl in question is by all the guy's standards, quite pathetic (by pure definition: miserably inadequate, arousing pity). When she killed herself, he probably thought, "I fought with my life on the line in war, and this girl killed herself just because someone didn't love her back?"
I mean, compared to all the blood that's shed in battle, unrequited love really seems trivial in comparison. Hence his distaste. He'd fought to survive, and for his country and its citizens, and yet this "life" that he'd paid blood, sweat, and tears (etc. etc.) for was thrown away by the original fl just like that.
EDIT: The reply below made a valid point, so I'll paraphrase my answer a little, here.
Remember: we' are not in that green-haired guy's place, nor have we seen the horrors he had. To a guy who's fought for survival, and who's seen the worst of the world, "love" is a trivial and abstract concept compared to surviving the next day. Because what does love matter, when you could die anytime? And what do her actions make of his own experiences? Days of no food and blood and horrendous sights hadn't kill him, yet something (in his view) as small as unrequited love was enough to kill her?
To us, the readers, it's obvious the original fl was manipulated. But to him? The green-haired guy didn't know that. Being readers, we cannot expect him to have known that--nor should we be pushing our (modern day, so to speak) values onto him.
1. he's THICC, like JUICY THICC like LITERALLY CURVY THICC THICC THICCCCCC
2. HE LOVES DICC!!!! HE LOVES DICC DICC DICCCCCCCC
3. he's got PUffY INVERTED NIPPLES (which are so cute and squishy!)
4. he's got GAP MOE! super introverted normally + but very open about sex!
he's perfect. author's gotta give him even more dicc. i support!
"he wouldn't resent me."
yo we're stepping into dangerous territory and i don't like it. here's hopin' he was talking about sex, and not Yeonwoo's state of affairs.
we couldn't even get an extra chapter detailing their newly relationshipped life ;- ;;;; no kisses???? I JUST WANTED KISSES DX
SO MUCH SUSPENSE AND TENSION??
then suddenly "the hands were real, malice sth sth, the end" I GOT PLAYED MY PERSONAL INVESTMENT GOT PLAYED Σ(っ°Д °;)っ （/TДT)/ I rlly expected sth psychological but it turns out it was just murder
Yeah Yoon Seul hurt Kang Joon, but sometimes humans do that. Sometimes we hurt people we don't wish to hurt, and that's just how things may happen.
What matters is that we later own up to our actions, and apologize for them, as Yoon Seul is attempting to do. Rejection happens all the time. Rejection is a completely normal thing--and for a bystander to be disappointed in someone for not returning another's feelings isn't very appropiate.
If I hadn't known better, and took the comments at face value without reading the manhwa, I'd have thought that Yoon Seul was a asshole piece of shit character who deserves everything he gets--because that's what several of you seem to imply. However, in actuality, Yoon Seul had simply been friendly to someone he liked hanging out with, did something stupid while drunk, and rejected someone. People do stupid things while drunk. People are sometimes too friendly. People reject other people. These are normal human things.
Consider an alternate scenario: what if Yoon Seul hadn't later realized that he liked Kang Joon? Suppose that, in order to spare Kang Joon's feelings, he decided to lead Kang Joon on despite not being sure (or having realized at the time) he felt that way. Many of you are making it seem like he should've done that, but that'd just have hurt Kang Joon even more.
I feel it important to note that 1. They weren't even dating at the beginning,
and 2. It isn't easy for a man who's been straight his whole life, to come to terms with the fact that he may be gay.
Sexuality isn't a 1-2-3 type of gig. Some people accept it easily, while for others it may be a long journey. The thought of him liking another man was preposterous not because he was homophobic, but simply because it had never happened before. It's not as easy as "Oh I kissed a man I must be gay". Life isn't that simple.
To us readers, it's obvious that Yoon Seul liked Kang Joon a lot from the beginning. But that's us. We're not him. We get to see the bigger picture, while the characters in the story don't.
Yoon Seul had thought at the time, that it'd be impossible to kiss or hug Kang Joon, and that's just how it was. He thought his feelings were simply that of a friend's. You guys are making him look like an asshole when he wasn't. Maybe he did have a feeling that Kang Joon liked him, maybe he didn't--but regardless, it was never "Oh Kang Joon likes me. Let's play with his feelings!" He just did what he thought was right.
He believed he'd made a drunken mistake, and said it as such. He didn't lead the other on, and he was just being honest with what he had believed was true at the time. We often forget that thoughts and beliefs can change with circumstances. Later, he realized that yes, he did in fact want Kang Joon to himself, and actually liked the other. The moment he realized that, he dropped his pride and tried to get Kang Joon back.
The world isn't black and white, and god forbid people continue seeing it that way.
YES thank you! It really hurts to read these comments that straight up diss Yoon Seul as if humans don't make mistakes. As someone who is straight and has also been raised in an environment where being anything other than straight is the worst thing possible, if I had been in the same situation as Yoon Seul where I kissed a girl, I would probably act the same way because I believe and have believed for my entire life that I don't swing that way at all. So yea, I hope people would try to be a little more open-minded with Yoon Seul's character instead of flat out calling him an asshole.
